Tool coupling for the design and operation of building energy and control systems based on the Functional Mock-up Interface standard

Abstract: This paper describes software tools developed at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) that can be coupled through the Functional Mock-up Interface standard in support of the design and operation of building energy and control systems. These tools have been developed to address the gaps and limitations encountered in legacy simulation tools. These tools were originally designed for the analysis of individual domains of buildings, and have been difficult to integrate with other tools for runtime data… Show more

“…Nowadays very powerful Building Performance Simulation (BPS) tools are available. Software like EnergyPlus [16], IDA ICE [17] or TRNSYS [18] perform very well in terms of annual energy analysis [19], allowing a detailed analysis of the building behaviour and related complex phenomena like the thermal zones coupling and the solar radiation effects [20].…”

“…The FMI approach translates one or more simulators developed using various tools (e.g., Dymola, MATLAB/Simulink, and EnergyPlus) into an FMU format: a zipped file containing the program and an XML description file [97]. A non-FMI program is required to connect all interacting simulators.…”

“…MECSYCO has a lot of potential for BPS since it has been widely used to co-simulate with ABM models. Camus [99] uses the tool in smart heating application to integrate simulators that are built using OpenModelica and NS-3 [97].…”

“…An example of these limitations is the modelling assumptions in current BPS tools that hinder proper modelling and prediction of the influence of control decisions on the dynamic performance of building envelopes. This is evident in the case of time step and state event handling of current BPS tools (Nouidui and Wetter, 2014). EnergyPlus, for example, has a minimum time step of one minute and cannot handle state events, which occur in a simulation if a value in the state variables of a model changes.…”
